A MAN whose mental health is worrying police will have a psychiatric report made on his condition, a court was told.
Burnley Magistr-ates' Court heard how Patrick Leona-rd, 35, subject to a criminal anti-social behaviour order, did not present a danger to himself or others. But offic-ers had discussed the possibility of having him sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
The defendant, of Walton Street, Colne, appeared in court and admitted breaching a community order with supervision and the addressing substance related offending programme.
He was bailed until October 19, for medical reports.
The court was told police were quite concerned about Leonard's actions in the community.
He had contact with the mental health services, but it was not known if he was co-operating and there were worries about the deterioration in his health.
The probation service felt they could not run the order because of the defendant's health and suggested it be revoked.
